I am a freshman in high school, and i am very pasionate about cooking. It relaxes me and usually puts me in a good mood. Unless the dish doesn't turn out right............I also am a total health nut, so anything high in protein and fiuber and low in fat has my name all over it! I absoloutley love to cook anything with pasta. I like the smell and texture, and I love to taste it when its done. It has always been my favorite food. My mom and i always make homemade cereal(granola) and kolacky. We make the granola year round, and never the same way twice. We always try to mix it up. we make the cookies by the 100's areound the holidays, and everyone seems to love them. I have had many triumphs. Whenever i try out a new recipe and it works, thats a triumph. I say that because i never follow the directions completely. anyone can follow the recipe exactly how it is, but when you can mix it up, and it is stilol delicious, thats something. I honestly try not to remember my mishaps,so I really don't remember any. I have crispy-crittered things on the grill by mistake but i wouldn't call that a tragedy.
